Lenzen Border Tower

Highlight • Monument

The old GDR watchtower now functions as a lookout tower. From the tower you have a great view of the Elbe and the surrounding area.

Charon sculpture on the Elbe dike

Highlight • Monument

"Charaon was created as the first major free work of art. The exploration of the theme of "Plowman and Death" blossomed here somewhat beyond the scope of the text. In the context of the theme of death, this vision of the ferryman to the underworld emerged. He has no skull-like face, he is not frightening, but very serious and dignified. Priestly in his appearance, he rather takes away the fear of the crossing. One does not doubt or despair of him. Almost benevolently, he takes us away, inexorably following the laws of eternity. I think everything will be alright on his chariot; the sickle is meant only for the body, not for us." Bernd Streiter, 1994

Elbe groynes in Brandenburgische Elbtalaue

Highlight • River

The Elbe Cycle Path runs very close to the banks of the Elbe. The groynes are accessible here from the Elbe dike. From the groynes you have a very nice view of the Elbe. Also a very nice place to take a break or enjoy the sunset.

Brandenburgische Elbtalaue Floodplains

Highlight • Natural

There is a beautiful floodplain landscape on both sides of the Elbe. On the Brandenburg side, however, the cycle path is nicer because most of the time you can cycle directly on the Elbe dike, from where you have the most beautiful view.

Elbe Dike Between Lenzen and Dömitz

Highlight • Cycleway

A very nice route with a lot of beautiful nature. Here you have very good opportunities to observe animals and birds, because the Elbe and Elbe valley floodplains are very bel (i) ebt. The cycle path here consists mostly of sandy, but relatively firm ground, which is good for cycling.
I love this route and I travel here very often. I often cycle from Dömitz to Wittenberge, there I go over the railway bridge, on which there is also a crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, and then I go back on the other side of the Elbe. If you don't want to cycle that far, you can also cross the Elbe by ferry, with the Lenzen-Pevestorf ferry or the Lütkenwisch-Schnackenburg ferry.

Dömitz Harbor and Speicher Hotel

Highlight • Structure

Dömitz is a highlight along the Elbe Cycle Route. The harbor is not only nice to look at, there are also hotels and restaurants. In addition, you will find nearby an old watchtower, which dates back to the times of the German division. Another highlight in Dömitz is the 16th century fortress. Dömitz is well prepared for cyclists and offers plenty of suitable accommodation.
